What if… digital by default was not just an aspiration?

As we move further into the latest industrial revolution, Industry 4.0, our understanding of the extent of the transformation that is required to embed ‘digital’ in ourway of working is evolving.

Our next Sustainability Delivery Group Expert Talk, which is taking place on 29 April at 13:00 BST, will see Katy Kemble, Digital Delivery Lead at Jacobs, explore how Jacobs is weaving innovation and digital into everything it does, leveraging technology to help solve client challenges.

Jacobs has invested in a specific role – Digital Disruption Lead (DDL) – to question the status quo, incubate ideas and work with its clients to break down their challenges. This session will explore in more detail Jacobs’ approach to innovation and building a culture of being ‘digital by default’.
